As those of us who have been on the coast for any length of time know, the Spanish street markets can be a great place to buy anything from cheap clothes, accessories, pottery wares, fruits as well as plants and fresh herbs.

The bullring in Puerto Banus is a great place to take visiting friends on a Saturday morning to mooch around the market or to buy holiday presents, or you might even end up taking a puppy home with you from the AAA (the charity for maltreated and abandoned animals in Marbella)…
